Side projects

NineDraftPrivate beta

A live draft-day war room for fantasy-football auctions. A Chrome extension reads the live ESPN draft room while the web app values every player in real time and advises the max bid — or a pass — for whoever is on the block, tracking the room's budgets and rosters as the draft unfolds.

Built solo, and used in a real draft. Under the hood: a deterministic valuation engine paired with a plain-English AI advisor that explains each bid-or-pass call. Invite-only while it's in beta — ask for an invite.

NineDraft is an independent tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by ESPN, The Walt Disney Company, or the National Football League.

AlphaDraft LabsResearch

The research side of NineDraft: building a self-learning drafting engine, AlphaGo-style — one that learns the auction by playing it, built to beat the shipped engine's hand-built math. It runs on a fast auction simulator, with populations of agents drafting against each other and discovering strategy instead of being programmed with it. A new drafter earns its place in the arena by measurably out-drafting the one before it.
